Only a few people can say they have been to the end of the world. For one hour, however, over 30 000 children were able to virtually come on board the Malizia Explorer and travel from their schools all the way to Antarctica as the My Ocean Challenge hosted a classroom in the ice in cooperation with Luisa Neubauer. Moderated by German TV reporter Tobi Krell, also known as Checker Tobi, the live lesson introduced students to Antarctica through the perspectives of climate activist Luisa Neubauer, offshore sailor Boris Herrmann, and marine researcher and journalist Lea Wowra. The session focused on what makes Antarctica unique, why it matters for the global climate, and how it can still be a place of hope.
